摘 要:In light of improved knowledge about the hazards posed by occupational lead exposure, the Department of Defense (DOD) asked the National Research Council to evaluate potential health risks related to recurrent lead exposure of firing-range personnel. Specifically, DOD asked the National Research Council to determine whether current exposure standards for lead on DOD firing ranges protect their workers adequately and to evaluate potential risk-assessment options. In response to DODs request, the National Research Council convened the Committee on Potential Health Risks from Recurrent Lead Exposure of DOD Firing Range Personnel, which prepared this report. The members of the committee were selected for their expertise in general toxicology, inhalation toxicology, neurotoxicology, reproductive and developmental toxicology, immunotoxicology, toxicokinetics, epidemiology, industrial hygiene, occupational medicine, exposure assessment, risk assessment, and biostatistics.
